  2020 Recioto di Soave DOCG Classico, Guerrieri Rizzardi

  £2500

  Crafted from hand-selected Garganega grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Soave Classico zone, this Recioto represents the pinnacle of sweet wine tradition. The vineyard sites chosen for their age, optimal exposure, and naturally low yields produce loose, well-formed bunches ideal for the traditional appassimento (drying) method.

  After harvesting, the grapes are gently laid in drying rooms (fruttai) for several months to concentrate sugars and complexity. Fermentation is slow and careful, followed by ageing in small oak barrels, enhancing the wine’s texture and aromatic depth.

  In the glass, the 2020 Recioto di Soave shines with a golden hue, offering a luxurious nose of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and honeycomb. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity that lifts the richness and creates a long, harmonious finish. Notes of candied apricot, orange zest, and almond linger, underpinned by a crisp structure and elegant freshness.

  Pair with: A classic match for almond tarts, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or simply enjoy it on its own as a luxurious after-dinner wine.
  Ageing potential: 10+ years if properly cellared.

  2023 ‘Roman Road’ Chardonnay, Simpsons Wine Estate

  £2595

  Exuding a true sense of place, the Roman Road Chardonnay is elegant and pure, with a distinctive mineral quality that you would expect from fruit grown on the iconic chalk terroir of the Kentish North Downs.

  Pale straw hued, with a complex matrix of tropical and citrus fruit, subtle butterscotch and flint on the nose, this Chardonnay shows excellent, ripe fruit intensity balanced with an elegant minerality, fresh citrus flavours and touches of cedar.

  The 2018 vintage was awarded a Platinum Medal and the highest accolade of “Best in Show” in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020. This title is only bestowed upon the top 50 wines entered into what is the largest and most influential, international wine competition.  The 2020 vintage is a very worthy follow-up, reflecting the superb growing season and harvest of that year.

  Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley; an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England through Champagne and on to Burgundy. The grapes come from the Roman Road vineyard, named after the route the Romans first marched when invading England in AD 43.  They are grown on south-facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation in the day and cold air drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations.

  2021 Laurens Campher Chenin Blanc, Muratie

  £2595

  Laurens Campher was a young German soldier who started farming at Muratie in 1685. This blend is a labour of love, much like Laurens’ love for Ansela van de Caab. Their love was ultimately rewarding, bringing about the birth of their three children, her freedom and the development of a farm that was only officially granted to Campher in 1699 but is still going strong over three centuries later.

  This wine is made from meticulously sourced grapes from different sites and slopes. Vineyards vary in age from 10 – 15 years old. The Chenin Blanc is from an old north facing bush vine block with low yields and good fruit purity.

  For all its freshness, elegance and focus, the wine’s flavours are complex and intense, ranging from bright lemon, fresh pineapple, apricots and juicy nectarine to more concentrated lime marmalade as well as caramel and cream (from barrel fermentation and 11 months of maturation in mostly older French oak). On the palate the initial impression is floral (heady honeysuckle) finishing with white peaches and apricots, with hints of citrus and a fresh acidity – great persistence promising enjoyment over at least five years.

  2022 Etna Rosso, Pietradolce

  £2600

  Pietradolce’s single-vineyard bottlings are among Etna’s most highly regarded. Pietradolce is all about the terroir and this 2019 Etna Rosso is made from 100% Nero Mascalese grapes grown at 800m on the northern slopes of Mount Etna.  The vineyard has rich volcanic soils and an intense day/night temperature swing which helps to provide their wines with extraordinary richness, texture, aroma and depth.

  In the glass, this wine opens with fragrant aromas of cherry, raspberry, herbs, chocolate and spice are joined by a subtle saline tang. It’s a similar theme in the mouth, with herbs and spice dancing around the core of vibrant, juicy raspberry and cherry fruits. Creamy softness emerges on the mid-palate, as well as some tannic grip, leading to a long, fresh, slightly saline finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

  A perfect introduction to the beautiful wines of Sicily.

From Craneford, higher elevation and leaner soils add freshness and finesse. The result is a Shiraz with juicy, finely structured tannins, a seamless mid-palate, and a long, spice-laced finish.

  2021 Viognier ‘Age of Grace’, Lismore

  £2800

  Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa.  It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines.

  This Viognier is a reflection of Samantha’s obsession with how the special soil, climate and a mysterious sense of place come together to produce an extraordinary wine that tells you its story. The vines are grown on rose-quartz soils in Elgin, which is a cool, high altitude plateau. The region offers a lengthened ripening period which brings the grapes late into the season, often three to four weeks later than traditional wine-growing areas in South Africa. This provides the opportunity to develop deep complexity and concentration.

  In the glass, the 2021 Age of Grace Viognier is an expressive wine that seduces you with beautiful perfumes of honeysuckle and orange blossom and a textured palate of apricot, kiwi and pineapple. A sensual and exotic experience. Barrel fermented and aged. Enjoy it now or allow it to gain complexity with further cellaring.
